Background: Traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) features a unique serrated configuration because it involves two cell types: tall and short columnar cells. The serrated neoplasia pathway is related to the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer. CpG island methylator phenotype-high (CIMP-high) is a unique genetic alteration in this pathway.
Materials And Methods: This study investigated the prevalence and level of methylation and CIMP in 30 TSA cases. The tall and short cells in 28 TSAs were separated by microdissection. Methylation-specific PCR was performed to detect the methylation of MGMT, MLH1, P14, P16, MINT1, MINT2 and MINT31.
Results: Overall, 30 cases presented CIMP-high, and the prevalence of CIMP-high was 100% (30/30) in tall cells and 93% (28/30) in short cells.
Conclusions: No significant difference was found between tall and short columnar cells. The relationship between methylation and clinicopathological characters remains to be established.

Institute of Eastern-Himalaya Biodiversity Research, Dali University, Dali, Yunnan, China.
Article Synopsis
- Birds vary greatly in size, making them key for studying how evolution adapts traits like body size, but the genetic factors involved are still not well understood.
- This study examined 15 genes linked to body size in birds, showing notable adaptive evolution in these genes across different bird lineages, especially highlighting the IGF2BP1 gene's connection to larger body sizes.
- The research uncovered distinct evolutionary patterns and convergent evolution in genes associated with body size, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms driving size adaptations in birds.
Twenty-three species of the genera Aspistomella Hendel, 1909, Polyteloptera Hendel, 1909, and Ulivellia Speiser, 1929 occurring in South America (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil) form a monophyletic lineage sharing certain combinations of plesiomorphies and apomorphies with similar larval biology. The name Aspistomella Hendel, 1909 is a new senior subjective synonym of Paraphyola Hendel, 1909. The group of genera is extended by the addition of six known species, Aspistomella angustifrons (Hendel, 1909) comb.

Leizhou goats can be classified into tall and short types based on their size and habits. The tall Leizhou goats are well-suited for grazing management due to their robust physique, while the dwarf types are smaller, grow rapidly, and are more appropriate for feeding management systems. In this study, whole-genome resequencing was conducted to identify genomic variants in 15 Tall-legged (TL) and 15 Short-legged (SL) Leizhou goats, yielding 8,641,229 high-quality SNPs in the Leizhou goat genome.

Article Synopsis
- - Mulibrey nanism (MUL) is a genetic growth disorder linked to mutations in the TRIM37 gene, leading to growth failure, distinct facial features, heart issues, infertility, and higher cancer risk.
- - A study of 33 MUL patients, aged 4.5-48 years, assessed their long bones and spine through radiographs, revealing significant skeletal abnormalities such as slender and bowed long bones, thick cortices, and tall vertebral bodies.
- - The study confirmed that all patients had skeletal changes, with 58% showing fibrous dysplasia and 52% having a history of fractures, highlighting TRIM37's critical role in skeletal development and maintenance.
Does matching glenosphere size to patient height improve outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty?
Shoulder Elbow
February 2024
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, Somerset, UK.
Introduction: Optimal biomechanics in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) are still a topic of debate. Although larger glenospheres have been linked with a theoretical improvement in the range of movement, results from clinical studies are mixed. We hypothesised that matching glenosphere diameter to patient height would result in greater improvements in post-operative range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs).
